Another enjoyable opportunity for FWC member to get together and hear from our latest speaker Jamila Robertson (pictured above with President David Selves). Jamila is a FWC member, an entrepreneur and the Founder of Ask Louis, a digital platform which actively helps young people discover careers in Construction and Engineering which is now high up on the Govt’s agenda for young school leavers; Jamila is also a Director at the Centre for the Future of Work.

Jamila stood as a Conservative candidate in the 2024 General Election for Brent East.

In 2016, Jamila created the Slapp makeup app, so with just a selfie you could instantly find the right products for you; wherever you lived and whenever you wanted. This was such a success and Jamila is very proud of this achievement.

Jamila volunteers in her spare time by speaking in schools and colleges across the country, inspiring young people to become entrepreneurs, go into STECM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Construction and Maths) and take up work experience.

As a former school Governor in two local primary schools and a STEM Academy, Jamila is focused on ensuring young people have access to networks and a range of career possibilities.

Jamila is a passionate advocate for upskilling those on Universal Credit to empower people back to work so they can use their skills to build the SMEs of the future.

Jamila’s academic background is that she studied Classics at UCL before going on to gain an NCTJ in Newspaper Journalism, and an MA in Fashion Journalism at the London College of Fashion (UAL).

Jamila helps to develop policy with the Centre for Policy Studies and members may have seen her column in CityAM
